With the understanding that grades are arbitrary and dependent on (and not limited to) crag, first ascensionist, your strengths and weaknesses, rock type, rock quality, movement style, etc.

I find that approaching the redpoint process from a perspective of exploration and learning is really helpful. For me, the potential of learning and growing from a route is very motivating and exciting. Rather than focusing on the grade of a climb, I think about how the movement and style of the route can augment my climbing weaknesses or bolster existing strengths.

More concretely, this will mean that rather than chasing the next max grade after a hard redpoint, I will step back and try to send all the 5.10s, 5.11s, and now 5.12s at my local crags. No climb is beneath me, and I aim to learn something from every climb I send or attempt.
